How to Make and Distribute a Documentary without Losing Your Mind or Going Broke

Documentary filmmaking requires more than just a passion for the subject––whether it be one’s personal story or that of someone else, a historical event or a startling discovery, a political movement or a heinous crime. Making a documentary and getting it in front of an audience requires determination, careful planning, money, and a strong production team. With over thirty years of experience in filmmaking, author Betsy Chasse mentors readers every step of the way with a down-to-earth approach and invaluable advice. Chapters cover topics such as:


Choosing a Subject
Developing a Business Plan
Securing Financial Backing
Assembling a Production Team
Nailing Interviews and Shooting B-Roll
Getting through Post-Production
Distributing and Marketing the Film


The new edition enhances the well-regarded original title to adapt to the quick-changing media landscape, with all-new sections on updating revenue models for streaming, making the most of self-distribution and festivals, creating an algorithm-friendly marketing strategy, building your personal brand, and using AI tools thoughtfully. Both novices and experienced filmmakers will benefit from this all-inclusive guide. With the right knowledge, persistence, and The Documentary Filmmaking Master Class in their camera bags, readers will not only turn their visions into reality, they’ll be able to share the results with others and navigate the process with confidence.
